A WHY NOT THEATRE PRODUCTION WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY SHAISTA LATIF

“Shaista Latif’s bold, funny and inspiring autobiographical solo show takes the form of a personal scrapbook brought to life.” – NOW Magazine “My name is Shaista (Shy-east-a). I am attempting to write a history but I can’t remember the order of things. You see, my memories are not entirely my own. And if I can’t tell the story of how I came to be, we will repeat a cycle of … reaching back in time from Afghanistan to Canada. Will you help me remember so we don’t forget?” – Shaista Latif Shaista Latif is an artist, director and facilitator. Her works explore the politics of inclusion and class. Latif’s works have been presented at the NAC’s Ontario Scene Festival, SummerWorks, Why Not Theatre’s Riser Project, Halifax Queer Acts, Art Gallery of Ontario and the Rhubarb Festival. Her play Graceful Rebellions was recently published by Playwrights Canada Press.
